I've tried a lot of the client apps but they all take too long to sync (and I don't like things like that happening in the background).

I've yet to find anything as good all-round as the mobile webclient from the browser.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] eaglesteve:
Is there a trial version of feedr? I would like to try first before I buy.

I love the interface and response time of newsroom. It's just a pity that I can't view it by the google reader folders. I would also love to be able to see the item list first before going down to the article itself. On my iphone and iPad, I usually skim through a couple of thousand articles each day, some are repeats, or articles that don't interest me. I've also no time to read all of them. So the item list view is useful.

The news-rob is so slow I don't think it's useable for me. Too much waiting at the black screen and syncing takes too long to complete.

I've also tried out gReader which is also incredibly slow.

News reader, together with browser, music players, picture viewers, and YouTube, are among the extremely high usage application, and I don't mind paying good money of it if it is really good. But I must be assured that it meets my expectation first.

Any other recommendation?

I've got some dust under my desires screen i know this is a problem on some htc phones but thought htc had sorted it on the desire.

Has anyone else got the issue and if so is it covered on warranty? How long do htc take to repair as i go away in 2 weeks and need my phone for sat nav

Ta in advance chris
[Desire General] MightySashiman:
Got the same issue and would be interested if someone knew a way to clean it up...
[Desire General] steve228uk:
I had this and HTC did repair it under warranty. The took about 10 days from collection to delivery but it is a bit hit and miss.
[Desire General] localh0rst:
i read since the beginning that some have this problem.

Thank god, i don't have it. And i don't use a case and have it most of the time in my dusty pockets. So, it seems that some phones just work right, no dust under screen, and some not. This should be fixed by the warranty, don't try to fix it yourself.

I had this 3 times with other phones (non HTC), and it always looked like it's not between the cover and the display, it looked like it's in the display. I got it fixed on one, they replaced the whole display ...
[Desire General] mcgon1979:
defo can be hit and miss. some people got the phone back with more dust in it since the repair guys tried to clean it in a non-clean room.

if its not very bad I would leave it. I have small bit of dust bit only visible in direct sunlight. thought about sending it back. they would not give me a new phone but said they would try and repair it. it would take 3 weeks. I decided to live with it.
[Desire General] JohnnyBravo1000:
I have a small particle of dust under my screen which is only visible when the phone is off or in standby mode.

It is probably worth bearing in mind that I have had three Desires and all suffered from this problem.

It's on visible if you really look for it, but once you know it is there it does become annoying.

You can send it away to be cleaned, but as others have mentioned, some have reported their phone being returned with even more dust. This is why I have refrained from sending mine away to be cleaned.

I think the dust gets under the screen during the manufacturing process as all three handsets I have had have suffered from dust under the screen upon removal from the box and none of them got any extra dust under the screen as time went on.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dosari666:
I have a Pioneer AVH-4100 car in-dash Multimedia system + CD-BTB200 Bluetooth adapter! Devices are paired but i can't seem to do the following:

1- Dial numbers

2- Access phonebook

3- Voice recognition

3- Receive names in incoming calls

Everything else works fine, but unfortunately the most important features doesn't.. :confused:

I wish JETware was compatible with the HD2.. :mad:

Any idea what to do?

thx.. :)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Prille:
Hello,

I've got the 5900P but also with the BT module you mention,

In fact the BT module of the radio doesn't really work that interactive, in fact it can't read the phone, so you have to work the other way around,

This means you first have to pair the phone, than you have to upload all your numbers from your phone to your car radio, I know, it's annoying, hard to keep up to date and everytime you flash (daily in my case) you have to re-pair and upload them again... So this last part I'm not doing anymore, on top of that it's limited to 300 nrs, the radio that is, and my hd has 450, so can't do them all...

this answers question 1-2 and 4, the voice recognition I never use, I keep my phone in a cradle next to the radio and use it like this...

Regards,

Tom

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dosari666:
Thanks allot for this valuable info, i'll try at as soon as i can.. :)

Regarding the "Dialing number" feature.. I want to dial using the on screen dial pad but i don't see it.. If i load up the contacts will i be able to see a dial pad?

Most appreciated..
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nrfitchett4:
good to know. I have the pioneer avh3100dvd and I just slave it with a 3.5mm to the front connector. I have thought about getting the adapter but was worried it wouldn't work.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dosari666:
I tried to upload the contacts but it says on the phone that there is no support, I can't figure out how to work around this.. I only have a "Send" & "End" on the screen. The screen also shows Battery and signal status. Nothing else..

I would really like to sort out this issue.. :(
[Vibrant General] boodies:
I really love how fast this thing operates. Have you guys tried the panorama mode, omg, it's friggin awesome. It automatically takes 8 pictures and tells you where to align them. You just rotate the camera! The whole thing processes almost instantly!
[Vibrant General] disturkis4u:
Yeah the panorama is cool but the resolution on it sucks. I like the frames in the audio postcard
[Vibrant General] SykesAT:
I know its kind of silly (maybe even a bit sad) but I like the frames too...
[Vibrant General] iceshinobi:
I just tried the Panorama and I could say it's Fast easy and cool i just wish it can at least focus on each one to have more details :D
[Vibrant General] boodies:
yeah, i do with it would let me pause so I can take a sharper shot. what I do is rotate really slow. That's how you want to do anyway ya know? Slooooowly.
[Vibrant General] degeneration:
Saw this thread and thought "MUST TRY!" and after trying it a few times I totally agree... I would be happy giving it a second for each part if it made it higher quality...
[Vibrant General] iceshinobi:
Hopefully they will have an update for that to be an option
[Vibrant General] os2baba:
I had the exact opposite reaction

I thought that the camera was a little slow taking pictures and extremely slow getting ready for the next photo. That's one thing that Apple's done very impressively on iPhone 4. But the panorama mode is pretty quick. So maybe this could be a software fix. Obviously, the first thing I did was turned review off. But it still takes almost 2 seconds to return control after taking a snap.

Hi,

I've buy a brand new HTC Desire to an Orange shop in france.

I'm going to move in Germany and want ton install inside a german SIM.

Is there a quick and easy way to remove simlock on this phone ?

Harlock
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] foxmeister:
You'll need to buy an unlock code from one of the many websites that sell these codes.

I'm not going to recommend any particular site, because it seems the service you receive can be quite variable, so just google "HTC Desire Unlock Code".

[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] derliebewolf:
Hi all, I was wondering if anyone who is still active here has ever tried (succsessfully or not) to upgrade tha RAM on the Magcian from 64MB (default) to 128MB (like Qtek S110)?

Right now I am still thinking of dooing that but it seems hard to find ways to do this as the device is way to old now.

Any Links? Oppinions? Ressources? I di d manage to find an old thread about this but not many details on how to do this were given...

Thanks for sharing :-)

EDIT: found some supply of these Chips on ebay...there is still more.This quick idea is starting to get interesting :-D
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] Keeper:
I've tried and tbh it was a nightmare... i ended up by braking that magician. Lucky me, that i have a 2nd one.

It's not as simple as having a hot air station - you will need some magnifying lens; a thin hot air tip; and ALOT of skills...

Problems that i've run into:

- after desoldering the flash rom, there were some solder residues left where the flash was placed...i didn't removed them...i simply melted them so to make them more round - BIG MISTAKE - the two new flash roms already had solder, and when i tried to solder them (which required me to press them down with some tweezers so to get "glued to the pcb"), the solder residues + the solder that was already on the ic melted and started to come out from the sides. Worse - the solder under the flash rom, got all glued, shunting all the "ball pins" ! cleaning it was really, really hard but i did managed...! Do note that my ideia was that "since it's easier to force the flash ic pins (BGA balls) to align better when there's already solder on the pads, i'll leave the solder residues", which ended up to be a big mistake.

- Due to heating up that area (at 400ºC) where the flash ic's where for around 30 secs each time that i removed, cleaned, replaced (due to what happened above), some other pieces started tofall down on the other side of the pcb (like the small dip-switch and the jack ear connector) and it was a pain in the *** to solder them back without making anything to fall down again on the flash IC's side.

- There's one PCB spot where a resistor is missing and which you have to shunt the pads so to make the 128Mb work. Let me tell you that i do have a small tip, but i wasn't prepared to shunt those two pins (of the missing resistor) in such a small space - What happened was that while i kept trying, the solder kept gluing to the nearby resistors and after messing around for quite some time, so to keep the solder shunting those two resistor pads (they are in between two resistors), one of the nearby resistor moved from place and later on, ended up by burning due to a 2h of messing around in that area.

Those are the ones that i remember...

My advice - forget it - it's TOO hard, TOO small and requires you to have a really steady hand + some great magnifier lens + good hot air station with a small tip + a good iron with a really small tip (needle sized) + luck.

side note: just so that you don't think that i'm a complete noob - i've been doing quite a few HW repairs at work...so trust me when i say that this is really hard.
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] derliebewolf:
Thanks a lot for your information!

What you just wrote is basicly, what my friend (who are bit mor experienced in such things) are saying. Too bad... I still have at least one spare magician (not working) in addition to the working one with cotullas ROM.

Does anybode know a link to a company that is doing such upgrades (prefferably for less than a hundred bucks...) or is someone willing to sell his 128MB device?
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] joe111111:
You can try on polish Allegro.

recently I found there Qtek S110 for 40 euros :)
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] Ham3r:
Yeah, Magician with 128 RAM (with french os) is about 25-30 euro on allegro!

Put simply, you can't. You need an app like SPB Wireless Monitor I've been using it for months and it has had little to no impact on my battery life (as it obviously has to run in the background). The downside is it's not freeware, but if you can justify the $20, it does the job.

Hi, the galaxy s has a beautiful screen and a powerful graphic card. It will be a waste if viewing video in normal or lower quality. However, when loading from youtube, the default video mode is normal quality, and it's quite troublesome to change the mode every time. Anyone knows the way to change the default to high quality?

Sent from my GT-I9000
[Galaxy S I9000 General] GalaxyFan88:
download this youtube addon and install it on your phone.

it will enable a "HQ" button next to the play/pause buttons in the lower right corner of the display.

i think this also enables playing videos in HQ everytime you start playing a video, but I can't test this since I'm waiting for a replacement SGS.

If you google youtubehd.apk you'll see a lot of results that suggest people are ripping the EVO 4G's youtube app and putting it on their phones. I'm not the original poster, but will assume that's where this is from before I hear otherwise.

If you cant get it to install with Astro then grab AppsInstaller from the market and try that (I didn't use Astro though so I dont know if it will have the same issue)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Soniboy84:
Bump on this one. 720p?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] TNStrangelove:
Surely anything above 480p would be redundant. Galaxy S max res is 800x480.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Soniboy84:
Well, if so,than 480! Ive only tried hd, and 720p.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Carrr:
Please stop repeating this every time this comes up.

Facts to clear up confusion:

- The current "HQ" mode is somewhere around 270p.

- This is NOT HD

- We'd like 360p

- We'd really like 480p

- We'd also like 720p, both since we know the galaxy handles downscaling well, for anyone using tv-out, and for any cases where the video is available in 720p but not 480p.

The youtube API docs actually specifies 176x144 as the max resolution for RTSP (H263) streams (which the android youtube player uses), but we're still seeing 270p so I'm assuming this is outdated. Or maybe I'm looking in the wrong place.

However, I'm also assuming we won't get 480p or up from the RTSP streams, which means we'll have to grab the regular flash or H264 streams instead.

We know that apps like tubedroid had no problem grabbing these streams for offline viewing, so what we want is a tubedroid'ish app that streams video instead of saving them. Any takers?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] xfox:
nice, now just waiting for a newer version of youtube
